Josh Smash!

I’ve spent the last 3 days or so working non stop on “The Vault of Secret Awesome.” At one point today I said, “wait… I actually have to make the comics or there won’t be any comics.” Let me tell you, this job would be easy if it weren’t for all the comics. I could just sit back and collect delicious internet monies. So delicious.

This comic is as close as I can get to talking about “The Incredible Hulk” since I haven’t seen it yet. Granted, that has never stopped me before, but I actually plan to see this one. Eli says it’s pretty good. Regarding Josh’s pigmentation, I suppose the hyper-gravy-ation turns the skin green. Why not?

In real life Josh has an “in” with a Popeye’s chicken employee that owe’s him a life debt. Much like Angel and his butcher friend, Josh sneaks in the back of the restaurant and Hector loads him up with life giving gravy… and probably some pig’s blood too.

My comment challenge to you: what else might one order off the menu at “Cluck-U-Chicken“?

(Thanks for your patience with the late comics and such while I’m getting the foundation poured for this webcomic empire. Your comments and emails of support are extremely helpful.)

Fancy Bastard
Filled up with gravy now
Turned into the Josh!
(Ain’t he bright green–and how!)
Wreckin’ the town
With the power of a bull.
Ain’t no monster clown–
Who is as lovable
as ever lovin’ Josh? JOSH! JOSH!

The Hulk was indeed awesome. Not quite Ironman awesome, but considering what they had to work with, very awesome indeed. They get bonus points for the homages they paid both to the comic and the TV series at various points in the movie. Also, they are totally setting up for an Avengers movie which makes me both happy and very scared at the same time. Happy because it would be cool to see all of them together, but scared because it would mean a movie version of Captain America, who I'm pretty sure it's impossible to make a good version of. Then again I could be wrong, I didn't expect the hulk to be nearly as good as it was.

So for a slogan there's the variation on the Kentucky Freud Chicken joke 'It's mother-clucking good.' For a more refined (or a "the rest of Europe stole all our clucking-hens, and now we gotta eat this clucking-coq") palate "Cluq au vin."

Personally, I recommend the "Clucking Free-Range Certified Organic Virgin (read: unclucked) Breast of Hen braised in our very own home made demi-glace." With a side of vegan tears.

Strangely enough (not sure if this inspired the comic or not) But there really is a place around here (DC Metro area) called Cluck-U Chicken. They make some of the best wings around (Even some that are so spicy they make you sign a waiver before they let you have them)
